## Abstract The horizontal crossβsectional shape of the temperature field of convective plumes at a height of 3Β·5m in the atmospheric surface layer was observed to be very elongated in the downwind direction with a ratio of downstream to crossβstream diameters of about 8:1. A dynamic explanation fo
## Abstract Calculations of collision rates between cloud droplets in turbulent air show that this would be an effective precipitation mechanism in cumulus if the r.m.s. turbulent acceleration were about 3 times that due to gravity. An estimated value, based on published records of flights through
## Abstract Experiments conducted over a flat uniform ploughed field indicate that the small convective plumes commonly observed in the surface layer travel as an entity with horizontal speeds proportional to the friction velocity, __u__. This proportionality, in turn, implies a direct relationship
